Well done!

I’ve always been a big fan of Kiki’s books but it had been a minute since I read one. She doesn’t disappoint with this one. Great story, very well narrated and filled with the kind of drama and action that I love in her books. I highly recommend it!

The Show Must Go On

The story started off pretty good but after a few chapters It became a strugle to finish the story due to the narrator did not do that good playing the other characters. Had the narrator done a better it probably would not have been a struggle to finish b/c the story was pretty good.

Started w/ Potential but Trailed Off

The book was a bit all over the place. It became pretty lackluster, just a bunch of reading. I was truly bored
